From  ^arch  1,  1848,  to  Starch  2,  1849. 


MILFORD  PUESS—G.  W,  STAtV,  PP.INTER. 
1849, 


This  may  LciUiy  iKai  as  a  ieg^l  mceiing  of  ihe  mhabi- 
ants  of  the  Town  of  Hopkinton,  held  on  the  20ih  day  of 
November,  A.  D.  1S43,  the  followiRg  among  other  votes 
were  passed,  viz  : — Voted,  That  the  Expense  for  the  year 
1S4S  be  published. 

Voted,  That  a  Committee  of  thre©  be  chosen  to  prepare 
for  printing  the  Expenses  for  tlie  year  1S48,  and  cause  the 
same  to  be  printed.     Hiram  Comee,  Augustus  Phipps,  and 
Silas  Mirick  were  accordingly  chosen  as  said  Committee. 
Copy  Attest— WILLARD  WOODARD,  2d.  Town  Clerk. 

In  compliance  with  the  above  votes,  we  submit  to  the 
inhabitants  of  Hopkinton,  a  Report  of  the  disbursements 
and  Receipts  of  the  Treasurer  from  March  1,  1848,  to 
March  2,  1849,  with  schedules  annexed  from  A.  to  L.;  al- 
so a  statement  of  the  condition  of  the  Treasury  March  1, 
1849. 

It  may  not  be  improper  to  state  that  the  disbursements 
appear  uncommonly  large,  owing  to  changing  the  town 
scrip  from  notes  drawing  5  to  6  per  cent,  interest.  We 
have  given  detail  as  far  as  w&s  consistent  with  economy 
and  the  facilities  at  our  command,  and  if  any  seeming  in- 
justice is  done  to  any-individual  our  excuse  is  no  design  to 
do  so.
